AXE426124 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AXE426124 is a 26-position rectangular connector header manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works, designed for surface mount applications with gold-plated contacts and outer shroud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AXE426124 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 26
• Pitch: 0.016" (0.40mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Features: Solder Retention
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: AXK8L26125BG (similar manufacturer part with active status) and AXE4E2626 (parametric equivalent with active status). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works and maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between AXK8L26125BG and AXE4E2626 depends on specific application constraints:

AXE4E2626 is the preferred selection for applications requiring identical board-level height specifications (0.018" above board, 0.6mm mated stacking height) and maintains the same series designation (A4F) as the original part. This part carries RoHS Compliant certification and active product status.

AXK8L26125BG is available in Tape & Reel packaging and carries RoHS Compliant certification. This part features increased mated stacking height (0.9mm) and board-level height (0.025"), which may require PCB layout verification for clearance compatibility in space-constrained applications.

Both parts are classified as active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AXK8L26125BG be used as a direct replacement for AXE426124?

A: AXK8L26125BG meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications. However, the increased mated stacking height (0.9mm vs. 0.6mm) and board-level height (0.025" vs. 0.018") require verification that existing PCB layouts and mating components accommodate these dimensional differences.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: AXE4E2626 maintains identical height specifications to the original AXE426124 (0.6mm mated stacking height, 0.018" above board). AXK8L26125BG has increased heights (0.9mm mated stacking height, 0.025" above board) and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both AXK8L26125BG and AXE4E2626 are RoHS Compliant. The original AXE426124 does not specify RoHS status.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: AXE4E2626 packaging is not specified in the provided data. AXK8L26125BG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same contact pitch and position count?

A: Yes, both substitute parts maintain 26 positions with 0.016" (0.40mm) pitch in a 2-row configuration, identical to the original AXE426124.

Q: What is the MSL rating for these connectors?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
